Study of Position Mental Foramen in Relation with Lower Teeth of Dry Adult Human Mandible in Bangladeshi Population
Keywords:
Mental Foramen, Dry Adult Mandible, Mental NerveAbstract
The mental foramen is the opening through which mental nerve passes from the mandible and usually located either between the roots of the first and the second premolar or apical to the second premolar. The aim of the study was to analyze different positions of mental foramen in Bangladeshi population. This cross-sectional descriptive study was done on 150 fully ossified dry human mandibles in the department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Bangladesh between July 2019 to June 2020. A non- random purposive sampling technique was adopted. Study was carried out by observations only. In total samples, 131 (87.33%) samples showed this foramen on the longitudinal axis of second molar tooth and 19 (12.66%) samples showed this foramen in between the longitudinal axis of first and second molar teeth. Knowledge of these variations helps the dental and maxillofacial surgeons to do any interventional surgeries in this region of mandible.
